SWP <br />surface water makes up the bulk of the regional water supplies conveyed by Zone 7 to its retail <br />customers. These sources combined supply nearly all of the water to the cities of Dublin, Livermore, <br />and Pleasanton. e <br />5.3.3 Zone 7 Water Supplies <br />Zone 7's three main sources of water supply are divided into five subcategories: 1) the Livermore- <br />Amador Valley Groundwater Basin; 2) Out-of-Basin water storage options); 3) contracted SWP <br />supplies; 4) water through Lake Del Valle system; and 5) recycled water. The following discussions <br />present the planned and existing uses of each category. <br />5.3.4 Local Groundwater <br />5.3.4.1. The Livermore-Amador Valley Groundwater Basin <br />The Livermore-Amador Valley Groundwater Basin (LAVGB) is in the heart of the Livermore Valley, <br />extends south into the hills south of Pleasanton and Livermore. Figure 6 presents groundwater <br />basin information and well locations. It includes 65,000 acres occupied by both the Livermore Valley <br />(42,000 acres) and the Livermore Uplands (23,000 acres). A major portion of the LAVGB is the <br />Main Groundwater Basin (Main Basin), which covers an area of over 17,000 acres and has the <br />highest-yielding aquifers and best quality water.9 The DWR Bulletin 118 has not identified the Main <br />Basin (DWR Basin No. 2-10) in an overdraft condition or a basin expected to be in overdraft in the <br />The municipal retailers supplement their Zone 7 supplies by pumping their GPQ from the Main Basin; the safe <br />yield from natural recharge of the Main Basin is calculated at 13,400 AFA. <br />Zone 7 Water Agency Groundwater Management Plan, 2005, page 3-4. <br />P:\Projecls - WP OnIy141162.01 Staples Ranch WSA\FinaOFine1 WSA.doc 5~ <br />
